  • Full internal and external property inspection
  • Roof void and subfloor inspection (where accessible)
  • Garden, fences, trees and outbuildings checked
  • Moisture meter readings throughout
  • Detailed written report with photos
  • Clear recommendations with no pressure to upsell

  • Chemical soil barrier treatments
  • Termiticide applications around the home perimeter
  • Baiting and monitoring systems (Exterra, Sentricon)
  • Direct wood treatments for affected timbers
  • Ongoing monitoring programs

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a termite inspection take?
Most residential inspections take 1–2 hours depending on the size of the property. Ruben will provide a detailed written report following the inspection.
How often should I get a termite inspection?
Australian standards recommend annual inspections. In high-risk areas or properties with previous termite activity, every 6 months may be advisable.
Does home insurance cover termite damage?
In most cases, standard home insurance does not cover termite damage as it's considered a preventable event. Regular inspections and treatments are your best protection.
What are the signs of termites?
Common signs include hollow-sounding timber, mud tubes on walls or foundations, discarded wings near windows, tight-fitting doors or windows, and blistering or buckling paint on walls.

What termite damage can look like

These photographs were taken at jobs Ruben has attended. Timber damage can remain hidden until a close inspection reveals it. A site inspection is needed to identify the cause, extent of damage and appropriate treatment.

Existing termite stations

Need someone to take over your termite station checks?

Already have termite stations around your property but haven't kept up with the checks? Perhaps the previous servicing arrangement no longer suits you, or you'd simply prefer to deal with a local technician.

Ruben can inspect your existing stations, check their condition and discuss taking over their ongoing monitoring and maintenance if the system is suitable. You don't necessarily need to return to the company that originally installed them.

What happens when Ruben takes over

  • Review the existing stations and any available records
  • Check the condition and compatibility of the system
  • Discuss the inspection and maintenance schedule appropriate for your property
  • Provide a personalised quote before ongoing servicing begins

Ruben carries out the station checks himself, so you're dealing with the person who knows your property and maintains the system.

Call Ruben for a price — 0404 430 627

Existing stations need to be assessed before a takeover can be confirmed. Some systems may need repairs, replacement components or a different approach. Any previous warranty or agreement does not automatically transfer.
